Westinghouse
Medium Voltage Compressed Air Breakers
Have
you been struggling to find support for your Westinghouse Compressed
Air Circuit Breakers? Are you looking for genuine Westinghouse parts,
life extension kits, new or refurbished breakers? Look no more!
Homewood
Products Corporation, formerly the Westinghouse Electro-Mechanical
Division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is manufacturing
the Westinghouse Compressed Air Circuit Breaker (CA). We produce
genuine Westinghouse parts, build new or refurbish breakers from
the original manufacturing drawings used to build your specific
breaker. We can also build breakers for new installations.
At Homewood,
we have taken the most reliable* medium voltage breakers available
and made them even better. We have enhanced the design, updated
materials improved the controls and auxiliary switches, added stainless
steel plumbing and test tees and developed life extension kits.
Why change
out environmentally friendly breakers that were designed to last
a lifetime? Our life extension kits allow you to cost effectively
extend the service life of your CA breakers well into the twenty-first
century. This can be done without expensive change out costs, environmental
concerns and re-training of maintenance personnel associated with
gas replacement breakers.
These engineered
kits are available for installation at your site for both the upper
and lower cabinets, and can be installed by your or our personnel.
We also offer arc chute rebuild kits that allow you to replace the
critical arc extinguishing elements without replacing the entire
arc chute. When a complete arc chute is required we can supply either
a new or refurbished one.
Our design
engineering team, which includes the engineer who was responsible
for the original Westinghouse CA breaker product line, can provide
engineering review to increase the current rating if desired. There
are no "reverse engineered" parts. Since the parts or breakers are
manufactured from your original shop order, there is no guessing
on the dimensions. They will be a direct replacement and fit --
we guarantee it!
With
Homewood, you have options. Proven, reliable technology designed
to provide service for a lifetime. Whether you need parts, life
extension kits, or complete breakers, Homewood is here to provide
cost effective solutions. Let us help you plan your refurbishment
program. Homewood has a network of over 750 active distributors
